tomorrow night as far as the weather is concerned. we will see how the game turns out. we are looking for a good game there. we will be talking more about that coming up. >> the road to new orleans makes a stop in fox borough massachusetts. they will duke it out tomorrow night to advance to super bowl xxv xxvii, 24-hours from now the stayed yummed will -- stadium. the purple caravan road through town yesterday and pumped up fans all day and all night for a special purple friday. it is a surprise full effect. >> excited? you cannot believe how excited. we are going to take this game big time. yea we are going to the super bowl. >> this morning we are live from baltimore to boston as the

ravens get ready to head down to fox borough. our very own jennifer franciotto she has been there all week. you must be in serious count down mode. >> we are so exited both the if he ever photographer and i woke up and when we fete in the lobby we said tomorrow night is game day. we are so ready for tomorrow night to get here and to play this game and to move on to the super bowl. so we have spent the day yesterday going around patriot place and this is an area surrounding gillette said yum checking it out so many things for ravens fans to do. patriot place more than happy to have you. they did very well by the ravens fans coming here and enjoying everything they have to offer including a pretty cool sports museum. it is dedicated to the new england patriots there is something inside that all football fans can appreciate.

>> it is about 25 to 30,000,000 feet of exhibit space. >> it opened in 2008 if it looks foom the same architect did ours at camden yards. you can see tributes dedicated to the patriots. there's an awful lot of history. history of birth place in america. starting in the late 1800's on the fields of boston common. >> combination of soccer and rugby. the first team is called the oneidas and it evolved from there. it was very big at the turn of the century. in fact many of our collegiate national hamp championships the redskins started here the colts started here. it wasn't until 1960 that football really stuck.

>> kids especially will like the interactive exhibits kicking field goals going into the huddle. look here we even found super bowl pictures of the ravens. it is part of a traveling photo exhibit ravens and the patriots hall of fame. image that. museum executive director brian morey says baltimore fans are welcome. >> come on by talk a little trash. >> ravens fans are coming they are coming by the hundreds. coming up at 9:30 we will have details in boston. wbal-tv 11 news, go ravens. >> i hate to say this part but they want me to. history isn't exactly in baltimore's favor. they made me say this. the baltimore team won the first afc championship game when the baltimore colts won. they have never won an afc

champion shin. patriots are a perfect 4-0 in championship games. >> there's a but here. but when they won the super bowl in 2000 they won their first home game and won 2 straight road games to go to the super bowl and won the super bowl. ladies how are you? >> good. how are you? what do they mean to do? do not turn the ball over. that's the holy grail of haven he's key. if they don't turn it over their percentage of winning games is astronomical. you cannot give tom brady ex prau po tegss and short field. there's a term called yac, yards after catch. throw to hernandez and having them run for long games. if the raifr vens tackle on the initial catch get the guys in step for 4 or 5 yard games instead of 15 or 20 that will

significantly reduce their offensive output. >> let's talk a little bit about the officiating. people are concerned they were not happy in the beginning of that game last week about some of the officiating. what are we looking at here? >> the raiders can't worry about the officials. fans can lose sleep over it. they can be anxious, nervous or whatever. they can't control the officials they can't control the officials. this level of the season three games left to go in the nfl season. hopefully it's the one in fox borough tomorrow. tom brady has a reputation of oh i got hit mr. official. how can that not be a penalty. >> you listen to all of the national coverage tom brady is all but deified. they are favoring and talking about it. it's clear ravens are the underdog from the national perspective. how does that help him mentally?

>> ravens have to pound and say we are going to go. i haven't said any of that this week. the last two weeks they can beat new england they have beat new england. they have worked extremely hard the last couple weeks to put themselves in a position to do that. maybe it is inspiration. because of ray lewis and all of that other stuff. one thing it does do it rallies everyone around one causes. that cause is to get ray lewis back to the super pole. they were playing with a tremendous amount of confidence. they feel they can go my where beat any one at any time. what about the uniforms. >> uniforms? need to wear white tops black pants. >> she is better at that than the yac. >> the intestinal yac. >> we won't pass.
